Greeting,
Sorry I am contacting you via this venue, it is due to the nature of the request I am about to tell you and it's urgency. I am Mr Kenneth Mgbo Esq, an attorney at law. I have a client (Late Sir Patrick Hans) who is presently late since 4years ago.
I am having a little problem with his bank here (Halifax Bank of Scotland London Branch). The management of the bank has called on me to forward name and contact of my client's Next of Kin to confirm with the one they have on their file. Unfortunately, the next of kin is dead, She died Two months ago during a Cancer operation. I have made the bank to know that the next of kin is dead and requested that I be given the opportunity to locate his relatives since I am his personal attorney.
I was called by the bank a week ago and was informed that my request has been granted under the condition of providing my client's relative within the next 14 working days or have my client's account with a balance of £30,000,000.00(Thirty Million Great British Pounds) confiscated.
It is on this subject, I therefore seek for your concent to present you as the relative and next of kin to my client and have the opportunity of applying for the claim of his account balance. I will provide you with all information and proves to back you up with this transaction and I assure you that it is 100% risk free. I will make sure it is executed under a very legitimate arrangement that will protect you from every breach of law.
Please endeavour to get back to me after reading my mail to declear your interest and willingness to proceed with me on this life time opportunity. Upon your reply I shall give you further details and we shall discuss sharing percentage according to our efforts. Include your direct telephone number while replying.
